Home Owners Renewing Mortgages Failing to Shop

Around: Survey

Are you about to renovate? Do you wonder when the best time of year to renovate is or what restoration

project provides the best return on invest-ment? If you want to learn the ins and outs of renovation, and be inspired by the latest renovation trends, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) inau-gural North Shore Home Reno Show on Saturday, June 13 will be a great start.

“This is the fi rst time we’ve brought our show to the North Shore and it’s going to be way more interactive,” said Bob de Wit, CEO of GVHBA. “The North Shore’s established neighbourhoods and mountain terrain can pose unique renovation and design challenges. This is an excellent opportunity for home owners to meet and hear fi rst-hand from our industry’s top award-winning builders.”

Homeowners are encouraged to bring questions and house plans directly to the

exhibiting members for free one-on-one consultations. You must reserve your time in advance by calling 778-565-4288 for your 20-minute consultation with one of the GVHBA’s RenoMark renovators, build-ers or designers.

TODAY’S TOP HOME RENO TRENDSREW spoke to four of the show’s exhibit-

ing renovators, who shared what they see as being the latest in renovation trends. Mark Cooper, Shakespeare Homes• In-law suites and laneway homes with

French doors leading to private walkout gardens and fewer or no stairs.

tuary” bathrooms.• Large walk-in showers.• Mood and LED lighting, chandeliers over

brushed brass, black and white.• Sleek wall-mounted toilets with con-

cealed tanks. Graeme Huguet, My House Design-Build:• Great rooms.• In older homes, creating one large one

bathroom fl oors.• Building green.• Elevators and moving master suites

downstairs, for aging home owners.• Media and theatre rooms.

ELLE RICHMONDSOPHISTICATION + WEST COAST MODERN =

Susan and Paul, both professionals in their early thirties, own a condominium in Richmond but were looking for something larger. The couple checked out a few new developments as well as older townhous-es around Richmond. When they saw Elle Richmond they were sold.

“First, we loved the location … it is within walking distance to the Canada Line, which is convenient for us since we both work in downtown Vancouver,” Susan says. “But what made Elle stand out to us was its bou-tique style high-end fi nishes and touches. In addition, we love the fact that there are only a few units per fl oor. It makes the build-ing feel exclusive,” she says, adding they bought a two bedroom home.

Elle’s location and sophisticated interi-ors is echoed often by buyers. It is rare to fi nd property in Richmond’s city centre, one block from Richmond Centre, minutes to Brighouse Canada Line station and the Richmond Public Market.

Elle Richmond is a collection of 60 resi-dences in the heart of one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in Richmond. The beautifully appointed homes feature one,

two and three bedrooms, ranging in size from 550 to 1,150 square feet, and three sub penthouses and two penthouses.

In addition to its prime location, the exclusive 15-storey contemporary design of glass, metal and concrete tower is sure to become the address to live in Richmond. Located just a stroll to Minoru Park and all of the urban amenities one needs, it’s easy to see why Elle Richmond is already garnering praise. In fact, more than 70 per cent of the homes are already sold, including all of the one bedroom condominiums.

“These condominiums will be truly gor-geous and with only fi ve units per fl oor, they off er great privacy,” says Matthew Ng, Vice President of development Regent International. “They will have the look and feel of a condo in Yaletown or Coal Harbour.”

You couldn’t ask for fi ner fi nishes: pre-mium Miele stainless steel appliance pack-age, Italian kitchen cabinetry with stunning quartz countertops, artisan fi nishes, air con-ditioning throughout, expansive top-of-the-line windows, up to 8”8’ ceilings in living areas, spa-inspired bathrooms with quartz counters, top-of-the-line hardware through-

out and contemporary design palette to soothe you after a long day at work.

To entertain in lavish style on those balmy summer evenings or cool fall days, each home features a generous balcony and ter-race space – some as large as 1,000 square feet. The two penthouses will have their own private oversized rooftop patio complete with an outdoor kitchen.

For the green thumb, the podium level will be home to an outdoor garden, which will incorporate garden rental patches. In addi-tion, residents will enjoy the social lounge with a fully equipped state-of-the-art gym.

Considering the unprecedented luxury, refi ned spaces and modern amenities, Elle Richmond is more than just a home, it’s a lifestyle choice. The location and the resi-dences make this a rare opportunity to buy into a building that will boast old world elegance with all of the modern luxury you expect. Prices start (for a two bedroom) at $468,900. Secure your place at Elle Richmond today. For more information or to register, visit www.ellerichmond.com or call 604-273-1313. Completion is slated for fall 2017.
